Has Already Been Made. Every semi occasionally some j feather head starts the report that the Burlington will build a cut off from Monroe City to Bear Creek, leaving Palmyra to one side. The Burlington it is true runs out of a direct course to strike Palmyra, but then it is customary for rail roads to deviate from a direct course to strike important places. The only place we know of which is likely to be 4 'cut off" the Burlington is Monroe City and that cut off has already been made.

The Fortieth general assembly, while it enacted a number of laws that redound to the credit and interest of the state, had some shortcomings that it were hardly wise to de fenii. The democrats ot the state look to the present legis lature to correct, so tar as is in its power, some of the mistakes of the last. The letters from the legisla tors show one thing, and that is that a majority of the members of the Forty-first general as sembly think Luul corporation franchises are not bearing a just proportion of the burdens of taxation.
